Making up

Join the head to the body with the tapestry needle and spare yarn. Run the tail of the yarn down each edge of the body and pull up slightly, to create a curved shape. Stitch the edges of the body (not including the tail) together and stuff lightly, then stuff the head and close the seam. For legs, knot several strands of yarn to the underside, at the base of the head.

Stitch two beads in place for eyes, one on each side of the head, using a sewing needle and pink thread, then fold the antennae piece in half and stitch it to the head.
